authority to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged and to own or
hold under lease its properties and to enter into and perform its obligations

violate or constitute any default under (other than any violation or default

under, any indenture, mortgage, chattel mortgage, deed of trust, conditional
sales contract, lease, loan or other material agreement, instrument or document
to which Lessee is a party or by which Lessee or any of its properties is bound.

Trustee, Mortgagee and each Participant annually after such registration,
commencing with the calendar year after such registration is effected, an
opinion of special counsel reasonably satisfactory to Owner Trustee and

action has been taken with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording and
re-filing of the Operative Agreements and any supplements and amendments thereto
as is necessary to establish, perfect and protect Owner Trustee's and
Mortgagee's respective right, title and interest in and to the Aircraft and the
Operative Agreements, reciting the details of such actions, or (ii) no such
action is necessary to maintain the perfection of such right, title and
interest.

Trust be moved to another state in the United States from the state in which it
is then located, the situs of the Trust may be moved with the written consent of
Owner Participant (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and Owner
Participant will take whatever action may be reasonably necessary to accomplish
such removal; PROVIDED, that, in any event, (a) Lessee shall provide such
additional tax indemnification as Owner Participant and the Note Holders or the
Pass Through Trustee may reasonably request to cover any additional
unindemnified Taxes or loss of Tax benefits described in the assumptions in the
Tax Indemnity Agreement resulting from such change in the situs of the Trust (it
being agreed that if a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and is then
continuing, it shall not be unreasonable for Owner Participant to withhold its

Participant, Pass Through Trustee and Mortgagee to the effect that (i) the
Trust, as thus removed, shall remain a validly established trust, (ii) any
amendments to the Trust Agreement necessitated by such removal shall have been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto and shall
constitute the valid and binding obligations of such parties, enforceable in
accordance with their terms, (iii) covering such other matters as Owner
Participant, Pass Through Trustee or Mortgagee may reasonably request, (e) if
such removal involves the replacement of Owner Trustee, then Owner Participant,
Pass Through Trustee and Mortgagee shall have received an opinion of counsel to
such successor Owner Trustee in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Owner Participant, Pass Through Trustee and Mortgagee covering the matters
described in the opinion delivered pursuant to Section 5.1.2(xxv)(D) and (f)
Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless Owner Participant, Note Holders, Pass
Through Trustee and Wells Fargo, in its individual capacity and as Owner
Trustee, on a net after-tax basis against any and all reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses including attorneys' fees and disbursements, fees and
expenses of any new owner trustee, registration, recording or filing fees and
taxes incurred by Owner Participant, Note Holders, Pass Through Trustee or Owner
Trustee in connection with such change of situs. Owner Participant agrees with
Lessee that it will not consent to or direct a change in the situs of the Trust
Estate without the prior written consent of Lessee, except that if a Lease Event
of Default shall have occurred and is then continuing, except during a Section
1110 Period, such consent shall not be required.

<PAGE>

      7.6      AGREEMENTS

               7.6.1       OWNER TRUSTEE IS OWNER FOR ALL PURPOSES

      Lessee, the Owner Participant and Owner Trustee agree that for all
purposes, after the Closing, Owner Trustee will be the owner of the Aircraft
(except that Owner Participant will be the owner for income tax purposes) and
Lessee will be the lessee thereof. No transfer, by operation of Law or
otherwise, of the beneficial interest of Owner Participant in and to the Trust
Estate shall operate to transfer legal title to any part of the Trust Estate to
any transferee thereof.

               7.6.2       COMMENCEMENT OF BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS

      Lessee, each Participant, each Note Holder, Wells Fargo, Owner Trustee,
WTC and Mortgagee agree for the benefit of each of the others that it will not
commence or join in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code to commence a case
under Section 303 of the Bankruptcy Code against the Trust Estate. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to preclude any Participant, any Note Holder,
Wells Fargo, Owner Trustee, WTC or Mortgagee from filing any claim against the
Trust Estate in any case commenced against the Trust Estate or preclude the
exercise of remedies pursuant to, or limit the rights of Mortgagee under, the
Trust Indenture.

               7.6.3       CERTAIN BANKRUPTCY MATTERS

      If (a) all or any part of the Trust Estate becomes the property of, or
Owner Trustee or Owner Participant becomes, a debtor subject to the
reorganization provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) pursuant to such
reorganization provisions, including Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code,
Wells Fargo or Owner Participant is required, by reason of Wells Fargo or Owner
Participant being held to have recourse liability to any Note Holder or
Mortgagee directly or indirectly (other than the recourse liability of Wells
Fargo or Owner Participant under this Agreement, the Trust Indenture or by
separate agreement), to make payment on account of any amount payable as
principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, interest or other amounts on the Equipment
Notes, and (c) any Note Holder or Mortgagee actually receives any Excess Amount,
as defined below, which reflects any payment by Wells Fargo or Owner Participant
on account of (b) above, then such Note Holder or Mortgagee, as the case may be,
shall promptly refund to Wells Fargo or Owner Participant (whichever shall have
made such payment) such Excess Amount.

      For purposes of this Section 7.6.3, "Excess Amount" means the amount by
which such payment exceeds the amount that would have been received by a Note
Holder or Mortgagee if Wells Fargo or Owner Participant had not become subject
to the recourse liability referred to in clause (b) above, and such Note Holder
or Mortgagee receives written notice that such amount is an Excess Amount prior
to its distribution thereof. Nothing contained in this Section 7.6.3 shall
prevent a Note Holder or Mortgagee from enforcing any personal recourse
obligation (and retaining the proceeds thereof) of Wells Fargo or Owner
Participant under this Agreement (other than as referred to in clause (b) above)
or the Trust Indenture (and any exhibits or annexes thereto) or from retaining
any amount paid by Owner Participant under Sections 2.13 or 4.03 of the Trust
Indenture.


<PAGE>

               7.6.4       QUIET ENJOYMENT; SALE BY OWNER TRUSTEE BINDING

      (a) Owner Participant, Pass Through Trustee, Subordination Agent, each
Note Holder, Owner Trustee and Mortgagee agrees as to itself with Lessee that,

Person shall not (and shall not permit any Affiliate or other Person claiming
by, through or under it to) interfere with Lessee's rights in accordance with
the Lease to the quiet enjoyment, possession and use of the Aircraft during the
Term.

      (b) Any assignment, sale, transfer or other conveyance of the Aircraft by
Owner Trustee made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Lease shall
bind Owner Participant and shall be effective to transfer or convey all right,
title and interest of Owner Trustee and Owner Participant in and to the
Aircraft. No purchaser or other grantee shall be required to inquire as to the
authorization, necessity, expediency or regularity of such assignment, sale,
transfer or conveyance, or as to the application of any sale or other proceeds
with respect thereto by Owner Trustee, as regards Owner Participant.

               7.6.5       RELEASE OF LIEN OF TRUST INDENTURE

      Each of Lessee, Lessor and Mortgagee agrees that in each instance referred
to in the Lease in which a transfer of any property is required to be made by
Lessor to Lessee or any other Person (other than Mortgagee), Mortgagee shall,
upon request of Lessor and compliance with the applicable provisions of the
Lease and Trust Indenture, promptly execute (at Lessee's cost and expense) such
instruments as Lessor or Lessee may reasonably request to evidence the release
of the Lien of the Trust Indenture with respect to such property.

               7.6.6       NON-RECOURSE

      Loan Participant and Mortgagee agree that (a) obligations of Owner Trustee
under the Trust Indenture or any other Operative Agreement and with respect to
the Equipment Notes shall be non-recourse to Owner Participant and to Wells
Fargo and (b) they will look solely to the income and proceeds from the Trust
Estate and the Trust Indenture Estate to the extent available for distribution
to Note Holder or Mortgagee as provided in the Trust Indenture and that neither
Owner Participant nor Wells Fargo will be personally liable to Loan Participant
or Mortgagee for any amounts payable by Owner Trustee under the Trust Indenture
or any other Operative Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing is not
intended nor shall it be construed to limit any recourse liability of Owner
Participant or Wells Fargo to the extent that such liability is expressly set
forth in this Agreement or in any of the Operative Agreements or arises by
reason of the breach of any representation or warranty or covenant given by such
Person (in the case of Wells Fargo, in its individual capacity).

               7.6.7       OTHER DOCUMENTS; AMENDMENT

      (a) Each of the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee hereby agrees with
Lessee, the Loan Participant, and the Mortgagee not to amend, supplement or
otherwise modify any provision of the Trust Agreement in a manner that could
materially adversely affect such party without the prior written consent of such
party (including without limitation in the case of such agreement with Lessee,
Section 4.2.5 of the Trust Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as

<PAGE>

the Lease has not been terminated or expired, each Participant, the Mortgagee
and the Owner Trustee hereby agree for the benefit of Lessee that without the
consent of Lessee they will not amend, supplement or otherwise modify (i)
Article III, Article IX or Sections 2.02 (third paragraph), 2.05 or 3.06 (second
sentence) of the Trust Indenture, (ii) any provision of any Operative Agreement
that will affect the stated principal amount of or premium or interest on the
Equipment Notes or (iii) any other provision of the Trust Indenture or Equipment
Notes in a manner that could materially adversely affect Lessee. Mortgagee and
Owner Trustee agree promptly to furnish to Lessee copies of any supplement,
amendment, waiver or modification of any of the Operative Agreements to which
Lessee is not a party. Loan Participant agrees that it will not take any action
in respect of the Trust Indenture Estate except through the Mortgagee pursuant
to the Trust Indenture or as otherwise permitted by the Trust Indenture.

      (b) Owner Trustee agrees to join with Lessee to the extent that action on
its part is necessary or appropriate (i) to cause the following to be duly
accomplished in accordance with applicable United States federal Law by the time
the Aircraft is delivered under this Agreement and the Lease: (A) the
application for registration of the Aircraft in the name of Owner Trustee and
(B) all related action necessary in order for Lessee to have temporary or
permanent authority to operate the Aircraft as contemplated by the Lease and
(ii) forthwith upon delivery of the Aircraft under this Agreement and the Lease,
to cause all necessary documents to be duly filed for recording in accordance
with applicable United States federal Law.

               7.6.8       CONSENTS

      Owner Participant, Pass Through Trustee, Subordination Agent, Owner
Trustee and Mortgagee each covenants and agrees, for the benefit of Lessee, that
it shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any consent or approval
requested of it or of Owner Trustee or Mortgagee under the terms of any of the
Operative Agreements which by its terms is not to be unreasonably withheld.

               7.6.9       INSURANCE

      Each of Owner Participant, the Pass Through Trustee, the Subordination
Agent and the Owner Trustee agrees not to obtain or maintain insurance for its
own account as permitted by Section 11.2 of the Lease if such insurance would
limit or otherwise materially adversely affect the coverage of any insurance

               7.6.11      FOREIGN REGISTRATION

      Each Participant, Owner Trustee and Mortgagee hereby agree, for the
benefit of Lessee but subject to the provisions of Section 7.1.2 of the Lease:

      (a) that Lessee shall be entitled to register the Aircraft or cause the
Aircraft to be registered in a country other than the United States subject to
compliance with the following:

            (i) each of the following requirements is satisfied:

                  (A)   such registration shall be made only after the Tax
                        Attribute Period, unless Lessee prepays on a lump sum
                        basis calculated pursuant to Section 5(f) of the Tax

                        Indemnity Agreement as a result of such registration
                        based upon the assumption that such registration
                        would continue for the remainder of the term of the
                        Permitted Sublease described in clause (C) below,
                        PROVIDED, that notwithstanding the foregoing, such
                        registration may be made during the taxable year in
                        which the seventh anniversary of the Delivery Date
                        occurs so long as the Aircraft is not "used
                        predominantly outside the United States" within the
                        meaning of Section 168(g) of the Code during such
                        taxable year;

                  (B)   no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be
                        continuing at the time of such registration;

                  (C)   such proposed change of registration is made in
                        connection with a Permitted Sublease to a Permitted Air
                        Carrier; and

                  (D)   such country is a Permitted Country with which the
                        United States then maintains normal diplomatic
                        relations.

            (ii) the Owner Trustee, Owner Participant and Mortgagee shall have
      received an opinion, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
      Owner Participant (subject to customary exceptions), of counsel reasonably
      satisfactory to the Owner Participant and Mortgagee addressed to each such
      party to the effect that:

                  (A)   such country would recognize the Owner Trustee's title
                        to, ownership interest in and right to possession of,
                        the Aircraft;

                  (B)   the obligations of Lessee, and the rights and remedies
                        of Owner Trustee, under the Lease are valid, binding and
                        enforceable under the laws of such country (or the laws
                        of the country to which the laws of such country would
                        refer as the applicable governing law);

                  (C)   after giving effect to such change in registration,
                        the Lien of the Trust Indenture on the Owner
                        Trustee's right, title and interest in and to the
                        Aircraft and the Lease shall continue as a valid and

<PAGE>

                        duly perfected first priority security interest and
                        all filing, recording or other action necessary to
                        protect the same shall have been accomplished (or, if
                        such opinion cannot be given at the time of such
                        proposed change in registration because such change
                        in registration is not yet effective, (1) the opinion
                        shall detail what filing, recording or other action
                        is necessary and (2) Owner Trustee and the Mortgagee
                        shall have received a certificate from Lessee that
                        all possible preparations to accomplish such filing,
                        recording and other action shall have been done, and
                        such filing, recording and other action shall be
                        accomplished and a supplemental opinion to that
                        effect shall be delivered to Owner Trustee and the
                        Mortgagee on or prior to the effective date of such
                        change in registration;

                  (D)   it is not necessary, solely as a consequence of such
                        change in registration and without giving effect to
                        any other activity of Owner Trustee, the Owner
                        Participant or the Mortgagee (or any Affiliate
                        thereof), as the case may be, for Owner Trustee, the
                        Owner Participant or the Mortgagee to qualify to do
                        business in such country as a result of such
                        reregistration;

                  (E)   there is no tort liability of the owner or lessor or
                        mortgagee of an aircraft not in possession thereof
                        under the laws of such country (it being agreed that,
                        in the event such latter opinion cannot be given in a
                        form satisfactory to the Owner Participant and
                        Mortgagee, such opinion shall be waived if insurance
                        reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant and
                        Mortgagee is provided to cover such risk); and

                  (F)   unless Lessee shall have agreed to provide insurance
                        reasonably satisfactory to Owner Participant and
                        Mortgagee covering the risk of requisition of use of
                        the Aircraft by the government of such country (so
                        long as the Aircraft is registered under the laws of
                        such country), the laws of such country require fair
                        compensation by the government of such country
                        payable in currency freely convertible into Dollars
                        and freely removable from such country (without
                        license or permit, unless Lessee prior to such
                        proposed reregistration has obtained such license or
                        permit) for the taking or requisition by such
                        government of such use.

      (b) In addition, as a condition precedent to any change in registration
Lessee shall have given to Lessor and Mortgagee assurances reasonably
satisfactory to each of them:

            (i)    to the effect that the provisions of Section 11 of the Lease
                   have been complied with after giving effect to such change of
                   registration; and

                   such change of registry, including, without limitation
                   (1) the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to
                   Lessee, Lessor and Mortgagee, (2) any filing or recording
                   fees, Taxes or similar payments incurred in connection
                   with the change of registration of the Aircraft and the
                   creation and perfection of the security interest therein
                   in favor of Mortgagee for the benefit of Note Holders,
                   (3) all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any
                   filings necessary to continue in the United States the
                   perfection of the security interest in the Aircraft and
                   the Lease in favor of Mortgagee for the benefit of Note
                   Holders and (4) costs in connection with the calculation
                   of the lump sum payment described in clause (i)(A) of this
                   Section 7.6.11.

               7.6.12      OTHER COMMERCIAL RELATIONS UNAFFECTED

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any Operative
Agreement:

      (a) Except as set forth in the Purchase Agreement Assignment, nothing
contained in the Operative Agreements shall constitute or be deemed to be a
waiver by Lessee of any rights, remedies or claims it may have against Airframe
Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer or any subcontractor or supplier of either;
and the Operative Agreements do not and shall not be construed or deemed to
create any rights, waivers, immunities or indemnities in favor of Airframe
Manufacturer, Engine Manufacturer or any subcontractor or supplier of either
with respect to any such rights, remedies or claims of Lessee; and

      (b) The Airframe Manufacturer, by its execution and delivery of the
Consent and Agreement, shall not be deemed to have waived any rights, remedies
or claims which Airframe Manufacturer (or any subcontractor or supplier of
Airframe Manufacturer) may have against Lessee; and the Operative Agreements do
not and shall not be construed or deemed to create any rights, waivers,
immunities or indemnities in favor of Lessee with respect to any such rights,
remedies or claims of Airframe Manufacturer (or any subcontractor or supplier of

each of the lessor, conditional seller, mortgagee or secured party of any
airframe or engine leased to, or purchased by, Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee
subject to a lease, conditional sale, trust indenture or other security
agreement that it will not acquire or claim, as against such lessor, conditional
seller, mortgagee or secured party, any right, title or interest in any engine
as the result of such engine being installed on the Airframe at any time while
such engine is subject to such lease, conditional sale, trust indenture or other
security agreement and owned by such lessor or conditional seller or subject to
a trust indenture or security interest in favor of such mortgagee or secured

               9.1.4       NOTICE

      If a claim for any Expense that an Indemnitee shall be indemnified against

to notify Lessee as provided in this Section 9.1.4, or in Section 9.1.5, shall

provisions of the following paragraph), assume and control the defense thereof
and, subject to Section 9.1.5(c), settle or compromise the same.

      (b) Lessee or its insurer(s) shall have the right, at its or their
expense, to investigate or, if Lessee or its insurer(s) shall agree in writing
not to dispute liability to the Indemnitee giving notice of such action, suit or
proceeding under this Section 9.1.5 for indemnification hereunder or under any
insurance policies pursuant to which coverage is sought, control the defense of,
any action, suit or proceeding, relating to any Expense for which
indemnification is sought pursuant to this Section 9.1, and each Indemnitee
shall cooperate with Lessee or its insurer(s) with respect thereto; PROVIDED,
that Lessee shall not be entitled to control the defense of any such action,
suit, or proceeding or compromise any such Expense (i) during the continuance of
any Lease Event of Default arising under Section 14.1 of the Lease, (ii) if such
proceedings would entail a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the
Aircraft or (iii) if such proceedings would entail a risk of criminal liability
or greater than de minimis risk of material civil penalties being imposed on
such Indemnitee. In connection with any such action, suit or proceeding being
controlled by Lessee, such Indemnitee shall have the right to participate
therein, at its sole cost and expense, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
Lessee; PROVIDED, that such Indemnitee's participation does not, in the
reasonable opinion of the independent counsel appointed by the Lessee or its
insurers to conduct such proceedings, interfere with the defense of such case.

      (c) In no event shall any Indemnitee enter into a settlement or other
compromise with respect to any Expense without the prior written consent of
Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such

<PAGE>

Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified with respect to such Expense under
this Section 9.1.

      (d) In the case of any Expense indemnified by the Lessee hereunder which
is covered by a policy of insurance maintained by Lessee pursuant to Section 11
of the Lease, at Lessee's expense, each Indemnitee agrees to cooperate with the
insurers in the exercise of their rights to investigate, defend or compromise
such Expense as may be required to retain the benefits of such insurance with
respect to such Expense.

      (e) If an Indemnitee is not a party to this Agreement, Lessee may require
such Indemnitee to agree in writing to the terms of this Section 9 and Section
15.8 prior to making any payment to such Indemnitee under this Section 9.

      (f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to be an assumption by Lessee of
obligations of Owner Trustee with respect to, or a guarantee by Lessee of, any
amounts payable by Owner Trustee upon Equipment Notes or a guarantee of any
residual value of the Aircraft.

      (g) Nothing contained in this Section 9.1.5 shall be deemed to require an
Indemnitee to contest any Expense or to assume responsibility for or control of
any judicial proceeding with respect thereto.

               9.1.6       INFORMATION

      Lessee will provide the relevant Indemnitee with such information not
within the control of such Indemnitee, as is in Lessee's control or is
reasonably available to Lessee, which such Indemnitee may reasonably request and
will otherwise cooperate with such Indemnitee so as to enable such Indemnitee to
fulfill its obligations under Section 9.1.5. The Indemnitee shall supply Lessee
with such information not within the control of Lessee, as is in such
Indemnitee's control or is reasonably available to such Indemnitee, which Lessee
may reasonably request to control or participate in any proceeding to the extent
permitted by Section 9.1.5.

               9.1.7       EFFECT OF OTHER INDEMNITIES; SUBROGATION; FURTHER
                           ASSURANCES

      Upon the payment in full by Lessee of any indemnity provided for under
this Agreement, Lessee, without any further action and to the full extent
permitted by Law, will be subrogated to all rights and remedies of the person
indemnified (other than with respect to any of such Indemnitee's insurance
policies or in connection with any indemnity claim such Indemnitee may have
under Section 5.03 or 7.01 of the Trust Indenture or Section 5.3 or 7 of the
Trust Agreement) in respect of the matter as to which such indemnity was paid.
Each Indemnitee will give such further assurances or agreements and cooperate
with Lessee to permit Lessee to pursue such claims, if any, to the extent
reasonably requested by Lessee and at Lessee's expense.

               9.1.8       REFUNDS

      If an Indemnitee receives any refund, in whole or in part, with respect to
any Expense paid by Lessee hereunder, it will promptly pay the amount refunded
(but not an amount in excess of the amount Lessee or any of its insurers has
paid in respect of such Expense) over to Lessee unless a Lease Event of Default

<PAGE>

shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case such amounts shall be paid
over to Owner Trustee (or, so long as the Trust Indenture shall not have been
discharged, to Mortgagee) to hold as security for Lessee's obligations under the
Lessee Operative Agreements or, if requested by Lessee, applied to satisfy such
obligations.

      9.2      EXPENSES

               9.2.1       TRANSACTION EXPENSES

      Owner Participant shall pay all Transaction Expenses (which shall exclude
the ongoing fees, disbursements and expenses of Mortgagee and the Owner
Trustee), up to an aggregate amount equal to the Expense Limit. Airframe
Manufacturer shall pay all Transaction Expenses in excess of the Expense Limit
and the ongoing fees, disbursements and expenses of Mortgagee and the Owner
Trustee, provided that if Airframe Manufacturer shall fail to make any payment
when due of the ongoing fees, disbursements and expenses of Mortgagee or Owner
Trustee, Lessee shall make such payment if so requested by Mortgagee or Owner
Trustee, as applicable, in which case Airframe Manufacturer shall be obligated
to immediately reimburse Lessee for any payment made by Lessee pursuant to this
sentence. Lessee shall have no liability or obligation with respect to
Transaction Expenses, except as provided in the preceding sentence.

               9.2.2       PAYMENT OF OTHER EXPENSES

      Lessee will be responsible for the fees and charges of its counsel
incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the
Operative Agreements. All out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lessee (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and charges) incurred in
performance of Sections 7.1.3(a), (b) and (c) (other than with respect to the
first parenthetical of Section 7.1.3(c)) to the extent constituting Transaction
Expenses, shall be paid pursuant to Section 9.2.1 and, otherwise, shall be paid
by Airframe Manufacturer. Airframe Manufacturer shall pay all costs and expenses
incurred by it in connection with the Operative Agreements.

      9.3      GENERAL TAX INDEMNITY

               9.3.1       GENERAL

      Except as provided in Section 9.3.2, Lessee agrees that each payment of
Rent paid by Lessee pursuant to the Lease, and any other payment or indemnity
paid by Lessee to a Tax Indemnitee under any Operative Agreement, shall be free
of all withholdings or deductions with respect to Taxes of any nature (other
than U.S. federal withholding taxes on, based on or measured by gross or net
income), and in the event that Lessee shall be required by applicable law to
make any such withholding or deduction for any such payment (x) Lessee shall
make all such withholdings or deductions, (y) the amount payable by Lessee shall
be increased so that after making all required withholdings or deductions such
Tax Indemnitee receives (at no after-Tax cost to the Tax Indemnitee) the same
amount that it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been
made, and (z) Lessee shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the
relevant Taxing Authority in accordance with applicable law. Lessee further
agrees that, in the event it is required to withhold from any payment of Basic
Rent, Termination Value, Stipulated Loss Value (and amounts determined by

<PAGE>

reference thereto), or amounts payable upon exercise of Lessee's purchase option
pursuant to Section 17.3 of the Lease, any Tax imposed upon Owner Participant or
Owner Trustee (including any withholding Tax based on income or receipts of
Owner Participant or Owner Trustee) and such Tax is excluded from
indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3.2, Lessee shall pay such additional
amount, if any, required so that the total amount paid by Lessee (after making
all required withholdings) is equal to (assuming timely payment of the Equipment
Notes prior to the relevant Payment Date) the aggregate principal amount of
scheduled installments due on the Equipment Notes outstanding on the relevant
Payment Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest, due on the Equipment
Notes; Owner Participant or Owner Trustee, as the case may be, shall reimburse
Lessee for any such additional amounts within two Business Days after demand
therefor. Except as provided in Section 9.3.2 and whether or not any of the
transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Lessee shall pay, indemnify,
protect, defend and hold each Tax Indemnitee harmless from all Taxes imposed by
any Taxing Authority that may from time to time be imposed on or asserted
against any Tax Indemnitee or the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or any Part
or any interest in any of the foregoing (whether or not indemnified against by
any other Person), upon or with respect to the Operative Agreements or the
transactions or payments contemplated thereby, including but not limited to any
Tax imposed upon or with respect to (x) the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine,
any Part, any Operative Agreement (including without limitation any Equipment
Notes) or any data or any other thing delivered or to be delivered under an
Operative Agreement, (y) the purchase, manufacture, acceptance, rejection, sale,
transfer of title, return, ownership, mortgaging, delivery, transport, charter,
rental, lease, re-lease, sublease, assignment, possession, repossession,
presence, use, condition, storage, preparation, maintenance, modification,
alteration, improvement, operation, registration, transfer or change of
registration, reregistration, repair, replacement, overhaul, location, control,
the imposition of any Lien (other than a Lessor Lien), financing, refinancing
requested by the Lessee, abandonment or other disposition of the Aircraft, the
Airframe, any Engine, any Part, any data or any other thing delivered or to be
delivered under an Operative Agreement, or (z) rent, interest, fees or any other
income, proceeds, receipts or earnings, whether actual or deemed, arising upon,
in connection with, or in respect of, any of the Operative Agreements (including
the property or income or other proceeds with respect to property held as part
of the Trust Estate) or the transactions contemplated thereby.

               9.3.2       CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS

      The provisions of Section 9.3.1 shall not apply to, and Lessee shall have
no liability hereunder for, Taxes:

      (a) imposed on a Tax Indemnitee by the federal government of the United
States or any Taxing Authority of any jurisdiction within the United States in
which such Tax Indemnitee is incorporated or maintains its principal place of
business or is otherwise subject to Taxes of such type as a result of
transactions or activities by such Tax Indemnitee or its Affiliates that are
independent of the transactions and activities contemplated by the Operative
Agreements (i) on, based on, or measured by, gross or net income or gross or net
receipts, including capital gains taxes, excess profits taxes, minimum taxes
from tax preferences, alternative minimum taxes, branch profits taxes,
accumulated earnings taxes, personal holding company taxes, succession taxes and
estate taxes, and any withholding taxes on, based on or measured by gross or net
income or receipts or (ii) on, or with respect to, or measured by, capital or
net worth or in the nature of a franchise tax or a tax for the privilege of

<PAGE>

doing business (other than, in the case of clause (i) or (ii), sales, use,
license or property Taxes, Taxes in the nature of sales or use taxes, value
added taxes imposed in lieu of any of the foregoing, airport excise taxes or any
excise taxes imposed in the nature of or in lieu of any of the foregoing and
other than, in the case of clause (ii), any doing business taxes imposed by a
taxing authority in any jurisdiction (other than the jurisdiction within which
such Tax Indemnitee is incorporated or maintains its principal place of
business) if such doing business taxes attributable to the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Agreements were subject to indemnity pursuant to
the provisions of this clause 9.3.2(a) (without regard to this parenthetical)
solely as a result of the usage or location of the Aircraft in such jurisdiction
by a Lessee Person when such Tax Indemnitee was not incorporated or doing
business or otherwise subject to Taxes of such type in such jurisdiction, if in
a subsequent taxable period such Indemnitee becomes subject to Taxes of such
type as a result of activities or transactions other than those contemplated by
the Operative Agreements, to the extent that such taxes (and in an amount no
more than the amount of such Taxes that) would have continued to be imposed
solely as a result of the usage or location of the Aircraft by a Lessee Person
in such jurisdiction in the absence of any additional nexus between such Tax
Indemnitee and such jurisdiction);

      (b) imposed as a result of the replacement of the existing financing
agreements with the Operative Agreements and the Express Sublease or the
issuance of the Equipment Notes;

      (c) on, or with respect to, or measured by, any trustee fees, commissions
or compensation received by Owner Trustee, Pass Through Trustee, Subordination
Agent or Mortgagee;

      (d) on the Trust or the Trust Estate that result from treatment of the
Trust or the Trust Estate as an entity, such as a corporation, separate and
apart from the Owner Participant;

      (e) that are being contested as provided in Section 9.3.4 hereof, for so
long as such contest is continuing;

      (f) imposed on any Tax Indemnitee to the extent that such Taxes result
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Tax Indemnitee, a
related Tax Indemnitee or any Affiliate thereof;

      (g) imposed on or with respect to a Tax Indemnitee (including the
transferee in those cases in which the Tax on transfer is imposed on, or is
collected from, the transferee) as a result of a transfer or other disposition
(including a deemed transfer or disposition) by such Tax Indemnitee or a related
Tax Indemnitee (or, in the case of the Owner Participant, by Owner Trustee
(unless requested by the Lessee), or, in the case of Taxes imposed on a
transferee, by the transferor) of any interest in the Aircraft, the Airframe,
any Engine or any Part, the Rent (other than the assignment of Rent to the
Mortgagee pursuant to the Trust Indenture), the Trust, the Trust Estate, the
Trust Indenture Estate, the Lease or any interest arising under the Operative
Agreements or any Equipment Note or a transfer or disposition (including a
deemed transfer or disposition) of any interest in a Tax Indemnitee (other than
(A) a substitution or replacement of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or
any Part by a Lessee Person that is treated for Tax purposes as a transfer or
disposition, (B) a transfer pursuant to an exercise of remedies upon a Lease

<PAGE>

Event of Default that shall have occurred and have been continuing, or (C) a
transfer to Lessee pursuant to Section 17.3 of the Lease);

      (h) except with respect to gross-ups, imposed subsequent to (and not in
respect of) a transfer or other disposition described in paragraph (g) above and
not described in the last parenthetical of such paragraph (g) and in excess of
those that would have been imposed had there not been a transfer or other
disposition by or to such Tax Indemnitee or a related Tax Indemnitee described
in paragraph (g) above;

      (i) imposed on the Owner Participant and indemnified by Lessee pursuant to
the Tax Indemnity Agreement;

      (j) imposed with respect to any period after the expiration or earlier
termination of the Term and, if required pursuant to the terms of the Lease, the
return of possession of the Aircraft to Lessor or placement in storage at the
request of Lessor in accordance with the Lease (provided that this exclusion (j)
shall not apply to Taxes imposed after such period arising as a result of events
occurring prior to such expiration or earlier termination);

      (k) consisting of any interest, penalties or additions to tax imposed on a
Tax Indemnitee resulting from a failure of such Tax Indemnitee or a related Tax
Indemnitee to file any return properly and timely, unless such failure shall be
caused by the failure of Lessee to fulfill its obligations, if any, under
Section 9.3.6 with respect to such return, PROVIDED that if any such return is
required to be filed in a jurisdiction outside the United States, which return
would not have been required to be filed in the absence of the transactions
contemplated under the Operative Agreements or Lessee's transactions or
activities in such jurisdiction, this exclusion shall not apply if (A) Lessee
has not informed the Tax Indemnitee in writing of the need to file such return
at least 30 days prior to the due date thereof (or such shorter period as would
reasonably allow the Tax Indemnitee to file such return if, under the
circumstances, the Lessee could not have reasonably informed the Tax Indemnitee
of the need to file at least 30 days prior to the due date thereof), or (B) the
Tax Indemnitee had determined in good faith that such filing would subject it or
any Affiliate to adverse consequences in such jurisdiction for which it had not
been (and would not have been) indemnified;

      (l) resulting from, or that would not have been imposed but for, any
Lessor Liens arising as a result of claims against, or acts or omissions of, or
otherwise attributable to such Tax Indemnitee or a related Tax Indemnitee;

      (m) imposed on any Tax Indemnitee as a result of the breach by such Tax
Indemnitee or a related Tax Indemnitee of any covenant of such Tax Indemnitee or
any Affiliate thereof contained in any Operative Agreement or the inaccuracy of
any representation or warranty by such Tax Indemnitee or any Affiliate thereof
in any Operative Agreement;

      (n) in the nature of an intangible or similar Tax (i) upon or with respect
to the value or principal amount of the interest of Loan Participant or any Note
Holder in any Equipment Note or the loan evidenced thereby or (ii) upon or with
respect to the value of the interest of the Owner Participant in the Trust
Estate or the Trust, in each case only if such Taxes are in the nature of
franchise Taxes or result from the Tax Indemnitee doing business in the taxing

<PAGE>

jurisdiction and are imposed because of the place of incorporation or the
activities unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative
Agreements in the taxing jurisdiction of such Tax Indemnitee;

      (o) that are included in Lessor's Cost and paid to the appropriate Taxing
Authority;

      (p) imposed on a Tax Indemnitee by a Taxing Authority of a jurisdiction
outside the United States within which such Tax Indemnitee is incorporated or
maintains its principal place of business or to the extent that such Taxes would
not have been imposed but for a connection between the Tax Indemnitee or a
related Tax Indemnitee and such jurisdiction imposing such Tax unrelated to the
transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements; or

      (q) Taxes relating to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

      For purposes hereof, a Tax Indemnitee and any other Tax Indemnitees that
are successors, assigns, agents, servants or Affiliates of such Tax Indemnitee
shall be related Tax Indemnitees.

               9.3.3       PAYMENT

      (a) Lessee's indemnity obligation to a Tax Indemnitee under this Section
9.3 shall equal the amount which, after taking into account any Tax imposed upon
the receipt or accrual of the amounts payable under this Section 9.3 and any tax
benefits actually recognized by such Tax Indemnitee as a result of the
indemnifiable Tax (including, without limitation, any benefits recognized as a
result of an indemnifiable Tax being utilized by such Tax Indemnitee as a credit
against Taxes not indemnifiable under this Section 9.3), shall equal the amount
of the Tax indemnifiable under this Section 9.3. The loss, disallowance or
recapture of such tax benefits taken into account by such Tax Indemnitee shall
be treated as a Tax subject to indemnity under this Section 9.3.1 without regard
to the provisions of Section 9.3.2 (other than Section 9.3.2(f)).

      (b) At Lessee's request, the computation of the amount of any indemnity
payment owed by Lessee or any amount owed by a Tax Indemnitee to Lessee pursuant
to this Section 9.3 shall be verified and certified by an independent public
accounting firm selected by such Tax Indemnitee and reasonably satisfactory to
Lessee. Such verification shall be binding. The costs of such verification
(including the fee of such public accounting firm) shall be borne by Lessee
unless such verification shall result in an adjustment in Lessee's favor of 5%
or more of the net present value (computed using a discount rate equal to the
Debt Rate, compounded monthly) of the payment as computed by such Tax
Indemnitee, in which case the costs shall be paid by such Tax Indemnitee.

      (c) Each Tax Indemnitee shall provide Lessee with such certifications,
information and documentation as shall be in such Tax Indemnitee's possession
and as shall be reasonably requested by Lessee to minimize any indemnity payment
pursuant to this Section 9.3; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, no Tax Indemnitee shall be required to provide Lessee
with any Tax returns.

      (d) Each Tax Indemnitee shall promptly forward to Lessee any written
notice, bill or advice received by it from any Taxing Authority concerning any

<PAGE>

Tax for which it seeks indemnification under this Section 9.3. Lessee shall pay
any amount for which it is liable pursuant to this Section 9.3 directly to the
appropriate Taxing Authority if legally permissible or upon demand of a Tax
Indemnitee, to such Tax Indemnitee within 30 days of such demand (or, if a
contest occurs in accordance with Section 9.3.4, within 30 days after a Final
Determination (as defined below)), but in no event more than two Business Days
prior to the date the Tax to which such amount payable hereunder relates is due.
If requested by a Tax Indemnitee in writing, Lessee shall furnish to the
appropriate Tax Indemnitee the original or a certified copy of a receipt for
Lessee's payment of any Tax paid by Lessee or such other evidence of payment of
such Tax as is acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee. Lessee shall also furnish
promptly upon written request such data as any Tax Indemnitee may reasonably
require to enable such Tax Indemnitee to comply with the requirements of any
taxing jurisdiction unless such data is not reasonably available to Lessee or,
unless such data is specifically requested by a Taxing Authority, is not
customarily furnished by domestic air carriers under similar circumstances. For
purposes of this Section 9.3, a "Final Determination" shall mean (i) a decision,
judgment, decree or other order by any court of competent jurisdiction that
occurs pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.3.4, which decision, judgment,
decree or other order has become final and unappealable (by law or by Lessee
hereunder), (ii) a closing agreement or settlement agreement entered into in
accordance with Section 9.3.4 that has become binding and is not subject to
further review or appeal (absent fraud, misrepresentation, etc.), or (iii) the
termination of administrative proceedings and the expiration of the time for
instituting a claim in a court proceeding.

      (e) If any Tax Indemnitee shall actually realize a tax savings by reason
of any Tax paid or indemnified by Lessee pursuant to this Section 9.3 (whether
such tax savings shall be by means of a foreign tax credit, depreciation or cost
recovery deduction or otherwise) and such savings is not otherwise taken into
account in computing such payment or indemnity, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to
Lessee (within 30 days after the realization of such tax savings) an amount
equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of such tax savings, plus any additional
tax savings recognized as the result of any payment made pursuant to this
sentence, when, as, if, and to the extent, realized or (ii) the amount of all
payments (other than in respect of contest costs) pursuant to this Section 9.3
by Lessee to such Tax Indemnitee (less any payments previously made by such Tax
Indemnitee to Lessee pursuant to this Section 9.3.3 (e)) (and the excess, if
any, of the amount described in clause (i) over the amount described in clause
(ii) shall be carried forward and applied to reduce pro tanto any subsequent
obligations of Lessee to make payments to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this
Section 9.3); provided, that such Tax Indemnitee shall not be required to make
any payment pursuant to this sentence so long as a Lease Event of Default of a
monetary nature has occurred and is continuing. If a tax benefit is later
disallowed or denied, the disallowance or denial shall be treated as a Tax
indemnifiable under Section 9.3.1 without regard to the provisions of Section
9.3.2 (other than Section 9.3.2 (f)). Each such Tax Indemnitee shall in good
faith use reasonable efforts in filing its tax returns and in dealing with
Taxing Authorities to seek and claim any such tax benefit.

      (f) For purposes of this Section 9.3, items of foreign Tax of any Tax
Indemnitee shall be deemed to be utilized by such Tax Indemnitee as credits or
deductions for any taxable year in accordance with the following priorities:

            (x) First, all utilizable foreign Taxes (taking into account the
limitations of Section 904(d) of the Code) other than those described in clause
(y) below;


<PAGE>

            (y) Second, all utilizable foreign Taxes (taking into account the
limitations of Section 904(d) of the Code) arising out of the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Agreements and other equipment leasing
transactions to the extent such Tax Indemnitee is indemnified or held harmless
for such Taxes by the Lessee or a lessee on a pari passu basis.

               9.3.4       CONTEST

      (a) If a written claim is made against a Tax Indemnitee for Taxes with
respect to which Lessee could be liable for payment or indemnity hereunder, or
if a Tax Indemnitee makes a determination that a Tax is due for which Lessee
could have an indemnity obligation hereunder, such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly
give Lessee notice in writing of such claim (provided, that failure to so notify
Lessee shall not relieve Lessee of its indemnity obligations hereunder unless
such failure to notify forecloses Lessee's rights to require a contest of such
claim) and shall take no action with respect to such claim without the prior
written consent of Lessee for 30 days following the receipt of such notice by
Lessee; provided, that, in the case of a claim made against a Tax Indemnitee, if
such Tax Indemnitee shall be required by law to take action prior to the end of
such 30-day period, such Tax Indemnitee shall, in such notice to Lessee, so
inform Lessee, and such Tax Indemnitee shall take no action for as long as it is
legally able to do so (it being understood that a Tax Indemnitee shall be
entitled to pay the Tax claimed and sue for a refund if (i)(A) the failure to so
pay the Tax would result in substantial penalties (unless immediately reimbursed
by Lessee) and the act of paying the Tax would not materially prejudice the
right to contest or (B) the failure to so pay would result in criminal penalties
and (ii) such Tax Indemnitee shall take any action so required in connection
with so paying the Tax in a manner that, in its good faith opinion, is the least
prejudicial to the pursuit of the contest). In addition, such Tax Indemnitee
shall (provided, that Lessee shall have agreed to keep such information
confidential other than to the extent necessary in order to contest the claim)
furnish Lessee with copies of any requests for information from any Taxing
Authority relating to such Taxes with respect to which Lessee may be required to
indemnify hereunder. If requested by Lessee in writing within 30 days after its
receipt of such notice, such Tax Indemnitee shall, at the expense of Lessee
(including, without limitation, all reasonable costs, expenses and reasonable
attorneys' and accountants' fees and disbursements), in good faith contest (or,
if permitted by applicable law to be contested by the Lessee in its own name,
allow Lessee to contest) through appropriate administrative and judicial
proceedings the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes by (I) resisting
payment thereof, (II) not paying the same except under protest if protest is
necessary and proper or (III) if the payment is made, using reasonable efforts
to obtain a refund thereof in an appropriate administrative and/or judicial
proceeding. If requested to do so by Lessee, the Tax Indemnitee shall appeal any
adverse administrative or judicial decision, except that the Tax Indemnitee
shall not be required to pursue any appeals to the United States Supreme Court.
If and to the extent the Tax Indemnitee is able to separate the contested issue
or issues from other issues arising in the same administrative or judicial
proceeding that are unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative
Agreements without, in the good faith judgment of such Tax Indemnitee, adversely
affecting such Tax Indemnitee, such Tax Indemnitee shall permit Lessee to
contest such matter in its own name, if permitted by applicable law, and shall
provide to Lessee (at Lessee's cost and expense) such information or data that
is in such Tax Indemnitee's control or possession that is reasonably necessary
to conduct such contest (other than such Tax Indemnitee's federal income tax
returns), and Lessee shall keep such Tax Indemnitee reasonably informed
concerning the progress of such contest and shall provide such Tax Indemnitee

<PAGE>

with copies of all submissions and judicial and administrative proceedings. In
the case of a contest controlled by a Tax Indemnitee, such Tax Indemnitee shall
consult with Lessee in good faith regarding the manner of contesting such claim
and shall keep Lessee reasonably informed regarding the progress of such
contest. A Tax Indemnitee shall not fail to take any action expressly required
by this Section 9.3.4 (including, without limitation, any action regarding any
appeal of an adverse determination with respect to any claim) or settle or
compromise any claim without the prior written consent of the Lessee (except as
contemplated by Section 9.3.4(b) or (c)).

      (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Tax Indemnitee be
required to pursue any contest (or to permit Lessee to pursue any contest)
unless (i) Lessee shall have agreed to pay such Tax Indemnitee on demand all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Tax Indemnitee in connection with
contesting such Taxes, including, without limitation, all reasonable out of
pocket costs and expenses and reasonable attorneys' and accountants' fees and
disbursements, (ii) if such contest shall involve the payment of the claim,
Lessee shall advance the amount thereof (to the extent indemnified hereunder)
plus interest, penalties and additions to tax with respect thereto that are
required to be paid prior to the commencement of such contest on an
interest-free and after-Tax basis to such Tax Indemnitee (and such Tax
Indemnitee shall promptly pay to the Lessee any net realized tax benefits
resulting from such advance including any tax benefits resulting from making
such payment), (iii) such Tax Indemnitee shall have reasonably determined that
the action to be taken will not result in any material risk of forfeiture, sale
or loss of the Aircraft (unless Lessee shall have made provisions to protect the
interests of any such Tax Indemnitee and the Owner Participant in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to such Tax Indemnitee and the Owner Participant)
(provided, that such Tax Indemnitee agrees to notify Lessee in writing promptly
after it becomes aware of any such risk), (iv) no Lease Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing unless Lessee has provided adequate security for
its obligations hereunder by advancing to such Tax Indemnitee before proceeding
or continuing with such contest, the amount of the Tax being contested, plus any
interest and penalties and an amount estimated in good faith by such Tax
Indemnitee for expenses, and (v) prior to commencing any judicial action
controlled by Lessee, Lessee shall have acknowledged its liability for such
claim hereunder, provided that Lessee shall not be bound by its acknowledgment
if the Final Determination articulates conclusions of law and fact that
demonstrate that Lessee has no liability for the contested amounts hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Tax Indemnitee shall release, waive,
compromise or settle any claim which may be indemnifiable by Lessee pursuant to
this Section 9.3 without the written permission of Lessee, Lessee's obligation
to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee with respect to such claim (and all directly
related claims and claims based on the outcome of such claim) shall terminate,
subject to Section 9.3.4(c), and subject to Section 9.3.4(c), such Tax
Indemnitee shall repay to Lessee any amount previously paid or advanced to such
Tax Indemnitee with respect to such claim (other then contest costs), plus
interest at the rate that would have been payable by the relevant Taxing
Authority with respect to a refund of such Tax.

      (c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 9.3, a Tax
Indemnitee will not be required to contest the imposition of any Tax and shall
be permitted to settle or compromise any claim without Lessee's consent if such
Tax Indemnitee (i) shall waive its right to indemnity under this Section 9.3
with respect to such Tax (and any directly related claim and any claim the
outcome of which is determined based upon the outcome of such claim), (ii) shall

<PAGE>

pay to Lessee any amount previously paid or advanced by Lessee pursuant to this
Section 9.3 (other than contest costs) with respect to such Tax, plus interest
at the rate that would have been payable by the relevant Taxing Authority with
respect to a refund of such Tax, and (iii) shall agree to discuss with Lessee
the views or positions of any relevant Taxing Authority with respect to the
imposition of such Tax.

               9.3.5       REFUND

      If any Tax Indemnitee shall receive a refund of, or be entitled to a
credit against other liability for, all or any part of any Taxes paid,
reimbursed or advanced by Lessee, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Lessee within
30 days of such receipt an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the amount of such
refund or credit plus any net tax benefit (taking into account any Taxes
incurred by such Tax Indemnitee by reason of the receipt of such refund or
realization of such credit) actually realized by such Tax Indemnitee as a result
of any payment by such Tax Indemnitee made pursuant to this sentence (including
this clause (a)) and (b) such tax payment, reimbursement or advance by Lessee to
such Tax Indemnitee theretofore made pursuant to this Section 9.3 (and the
excess, if any, of the amount described in clause (a) over the amount described
in clause (b) shall be carried forward and applied to reduce pro tanto any
subsequent obligation of Lessee to make payments to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant
to this Section 9.3). If, in addition to such refund or credit, such Tax
Indemnitee shall receive (or be credited with) an amount representing interest
on the amount of such refund or credit, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Lessee
within 30 days of such receipt or realization of such credit that proportion of
such interest that shall be fairly attributable to Taxes paid, reimbursed or
advanced by Lessee prior to the receipt of such refund or realization of such
credit. If any such refund or credit or any interest thereon for which a Tax
Indemnitee shall have paid Lessee is later recaptured, denied, disallowed or
reduced, such recapture, denial, disallowance or reduction shall be treated as a
Tax indemnifiable under Section 9.3.1 without regard to the provisions of
Section 9.3.2 (other than Section 9.3.2(f)).

               9.3.6       TAX FILING

      If any report, return or statement is required to be filed with respect to
any Tax which is subject to indemnification under this Section 9.3, Lessee shall
timely file the same (except for any such report, return or statement which a
Tax Indemnitee has timely notified the Lessee in writing that such Tax
Indemnitee intends to file or which a Tax Indemnitee is required by law to file
in its own name); provided, that the relevant Tax Indemnitee shall furnish
Lessee with any information in such Tax Indemnitee's possession or control that
is reasonably necessary to file any such return, report or statement and is
reasonably requested in writing by Lessee (it being understood that the Tax
Indemnitee shall not be required to furnish copies of its actual tax returns,
although it may be required to furnish relevant information contained therein).
Lessee shall either file such report, return or statement and send a copy of
such report, return or statement to such Tax Indemnitee, and Owner Trustee if
the Tax Indemnitee is not Owner Trustee, or, where Lessee is not permitted to
file such report, return or statement, or if the same is required by law to be
filed in the Tax Indemnitee's own name, it shall notify such Tax Indemnitee in
writing of such requirement and prepare and deliver such report, return or
statement to such Tax Indemnitee in a manner satisfactory to such Tax Indemnitee
within a reasonable time prior to the time such report, return or statement is
to be filed.


<PAGE>

               9.3.7       FORMS

      Each Tax Indemnitee agrees to furnish from time to time to Lessee or
Mortgagee or to such other person as Lessee or Mortgagee may designate, at
Lessee's or Mortgagee's request, such duly executed and properly completed forms
as may be necessary or appropriate in order to claim any reduction of or
exemption from any withholding or other Tax imposed by any Taxing Authority, if
(x) such reduction or exemption is available to such Tax Indemnitee, (y) Lessee
has provided such Tax Indemnitee with any information necessary to complete such
form not otherwise reasonably available to such Tax Indemnitee, and (z) if such
return is required to be filed in a jurisdiction outside the United States, the
Tax Indemnitee has not made a good faith determination that such filing would
subject it or any Affiliate to any adverse consequences in such jurisdiction for
which it has not been (and would not have been) indemnified.

               9.3.8       NON-PARTIES

      If a Tax Indemnitee is not a party to this Agreement, Lessee may require
the Tax Indemnitee to agree in writing, in a form reasonably acceptable to
Lessee, to the terms of this Section 9.3 and Section 15.8 prior to making any
payment to such Tax Indemnitee under this Section 9.3.

               9.3.9       SUBROGATION

      Upon payment of any Tax by Lessee pursuant to this Section 9.3 to or on
behalf of a Tax Indemnitee, Lessee, without any further action, shall be
subrogated to any claims that such Tax Indemnitee may have relating thereto.
Such Tax Indemnitee shall cooperate with Lessee (to the extent such cooperation
does not result in any unreimbursed cost, expense or liability to such Tax
Indemnitee) to permit Lessee to pursue such claims.

               9.3.10      FOREIGN TAX ON LOAN PAYMENTS

      If an Owner Participant is incorporated or organized, or maintains a place
of business or conducts activities (other than any activities of the Owner
Participant resulting from its participation in the transactions contemplated by
the Operative Agreements or resulting from any activities of Lessee in such
jurisdiction) in a country other than the United States or in a territory,
possession or commonwealth of the United States (within the meaning of the tax
law of that foreign jurisdiction) and if as a result thereof any foreign Taxes
(including withholding Taxes) are imposed on Pass Through Trustee, Pass Through
Trust, or any Note Holder, then Owner Participant shall reimburse Lessee for any
payments Lessee is required to make to or on behalf of Pass Through Trustee,
Pass Through Trust, or any Note Holder under this Section 9.3 as a result of the
imposition of such Taxes. The amount payable by Owner Participant to Lessee
shall be an amount which, after taking into account any such Taxes, any Tax
imposed upon the receipt or accrual by Lessee of such payment by Owner
Participant and any tax benefits or tax savings realized by Lessee with respect
to the payment of such withholding Tax or the payment hereunder, shall equal the
amount of Lessee's payment to or on behalf of such Pass Through Trustee, Pass
Through Trust or Note Holder.


<PAGE>

      9.4      PAYMENTS

      Any payments made pursuant to Section 9.1 and Section 9.3 shall be due on
the 60th day after demand is made to the indemnifying party therefor (other than
any payments for which a different time is provided under Section 9.3.3 hereof)
and shall be made directly to the relevant Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee or to
Lessee, in immediately available funds at such bank or to such account as
specified by such Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee or Lessee, as the case may be, in
written directives to the payor, or, if no such direction shall have been given,
by check of the payor payable to the order of, and mailed to, such Indemnitee or
Tax Indemnitee or Lessee, as the case may be, by certified mail, postage
prepaid, at its address as set forth in this Agreement.

      9.5      INTEREST

      If any amount, payable by Lessee, any Indemnitee or any Tax Indemnitee
under Section 9.1 or 9.3 is not paid when due, the person obligated to make such
payment shall pay on demand, to the extent permitted by Law, to the person
entitled thereto, interest on any such amount for the period from and including
the due date for such amount to but excluding the date the same is paid, at the
Payment Due Rate. Such interest shall be paid in the same manner as the unpaid
amount in respect of which such interest is due.

      9.6      BENEFIT OF INDEMNITIES

      The obligations of Lessee in respect of all indemnities, obligations,
adjustments and payments in Section 9.1 or 9.3 are expressly made for the
benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee
entitled thereto, without declaring the Lease to be in default or taking other
action thereunder, and notwithstanding any provision of the Trust Indenture.

      the Lease and the other Lessee Operative Agreements insofar as they relate

      applicable, 10.1.1(a)(vi) are legal, binding and enforceable in accordance
      with its or their terms and that such transfer will not violate applicable

      Aircraft), or shall use a voting powers trust or similar arrangement in
      order to hold an interest in the Trust Estate such that the Aircraft can
      be registered in the United States (without giving consideration to

      7701(a)(30) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto).

any Note Holder may, at any time and from time to time, Transfer or grant
participations in all or any portion of the Equipment Notes and/or all or any
portion of its beneficial interest in its Equipment Notes and the Trust
Indenture Estate to any person (it being understood that the sale or issuance of
Pass Through Certificates by the Pass Through Trustee shall not be considered a
Transfer or participation); provided, that any participant in any such
participations shall not have any direct rights under the Operative Agreements
or any Lien on all or any part of the Aircraft or Trust Indenture Estate and
neither Lessee, Lessor, nor Owner Participant shall have any increased liability
or obligations as a result of any such participation. In the case of any such
Transfer, the Transferee, by acceptance of Equipment Notes in connection with
such Transfer, shall be deemed to be bound by all of the covenants of Note
Holders contained in the Operative Agreements.

      10.2     EFFECT OF TRANSFER

      Upon any Transfer in accordance with Section 10.1.1, 10.1.2 or 10.1.3
(other than any Transfer by any Note Holder, to the extent it only grants
participations in Equipment Notes or in its beneficial interest therein),
Transferee shall be deemed an "Owner Participant," "Owner Trustee" or a "Note
Holder," respectively, for all purposes of this Agreement and the other
Operative Agreements and, in the case of a Transferee of any Participant or Note
Holder, shall be deemed to have paid its ratable portion of Lessor's Cost
previously made by Owner Participant or Loan Participant, respectively, making
such conveyance and represented by the interest being conveyed, and each
reference herein to Owner Participant, Owner Trustee or Note Holder,
respectively, shall thereafter be deemed a reference to such Transferee for all

transferring Owner Participant, Owner Trustee or Note Holder (and its respective
Affiliates, successors, assigns, agents, servants, representatives, directors
and officers) will continue to have the benefit of any rights or indemnities
under any Operative Agreement vested or relating to circumstances, conditions,
acts or events prior to such Transfer.

SECTION 11.    [RESERVED]

SECTION 12.    SECTION 1110

      It is the intention of each of Lessee, Owner Participant, Loan
Participant, the Note Holders (such intention being evidenced by each of their
acceptance of an Equipment Note), Owner Trustee and Mortgagee that Owner
Trustee, as lessor under the Lease (and Mortgagee as assignee of Owner Trustee
under the Trust Indenture), shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 in
the event of a case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in which Lessee is a
debtor. Lessee shall at all times be certificated and registered to the extent

<PAGE>

necessary to entitle Owner Trustee to the rights afforded to lessors of aircraft
equipment under Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code.

SECTION 13.    CHANGE OF CITIZENSHIP

      13.1     GENERALLY

      Without prejudice to the representations, warranties or covenants
regarding the status of any party hereto as a Citizen of the United States:

      (a) Each of Lessee, Wells Fargo and WTC agrees that it will, immediately
upon obtaining knowledge of any facts that would cast doubt upon its continuing
status as a Citizen of the United States and promptly upon public disclosure of
negotiations in respect of any transaction which would or might adversely affect
such status, notify in writing all parties hereto of all relevant matters in
connection therewith; and

      (b) Owner Participant agrees that, in the event its status is to change or
has changed as a Citizen of the United States, or it makes public disclosure of
circumstances as a result of which it believes that such status is likely to
change, it will notify all the other parties to this Participation Agreement of
(i) such change in status promptly after obtaining Actual Knowledge thereof or
(ii) such belief as soon as practicable after such public disclosure but in any
event within ten Business Days after such public disclosure.

      13.2     OWNER PARTICIPANT

      Owner Participant agrees, solely for the benefit of Lessee and the Note
Holders that if, during such time as the Aircraft is registered in the United
States, (a) it shall not be a Citizen of the United States and (b) the Aircraft
shall be, or would therefore become, ineligible for registration in the name of
Owner Trustee under the Act and regulations then applicable thereunder (without
giving consideration to Section 47.9 of the FAA Regulations or any other
provision that may restrict Lessee's use or operation of the Aircraft), then
Owner Participant shall as soon as is reasonably practicable, but in any event
within 30 days after obtaining Actual Knowledge of such ineligibility and of
such loss of citizenship, (y) effect voting trust or other similar arrangements
(in which case any provisions contained in the Operative Agreements restricting
Owner Participant's or Owner Trustee's ability to amend the Trust Agreement
shall not apply to the extent necessary to permit the use of such a voting trust
or other similar arrangement) or take any other action as may be necessary to
prevent any deregistration or maintain the United States registration of the
Aircraft or (z) transfer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all its
right, title and interest in and to this Agreement, the Trust Estate and the
Trust Agreement in accordance with Section 10.1.

      13.3     OWNER TRUSTEE

      Upon Wells Fargo giving any notice in accordance with Section 13.1(a),

Owner Trustee. Upon its receipt of such notice, Owner Participant shall as
promptly as practicable appoint a Citizen of the United States as successor
Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Trust Agreement.


<PAGE>

      13.4     MORTGAGEE

      Upon WTC giving any notice in accordance with Section 13.1(a), Mortgagee
shall (if and so long as such citizenship is necessary under the Act as in
effect at such time or, if it is not necessary, if and so long as Mortgagee's
citizenship could have any adverse effect on Lessee, any Participant or any Note
Holder), subject to Section 8.02 of the Trust Indenture, resign as Mortgagee
promptly upon its ceasing to be such a citizen.

SECTION 14.    CONCERNING OWNER TRUSTEE

      It is understood and agreed that, except as otherwise expressly provided
herein or in the Trust Agreement or the Trust Indenture, Owner Trustee is
entering into this Agreement solely in its capacity as trustee as provided in
the Trust Agreement and not in its individual capacity and in no case whatsoever
will it be liable or accountable in its individual capacity for any of the
statements, representations, warranties, agreements or obligations of Owner
Trustee hereunder, or for any loss in respect thereof, as to all of which the
parties agree to look solely to the Trust Estate; PROVIDED, that nothing in this
Section 14 shall be deemed to limit in scope or substance the personal liability
of Wells Fargo (a) to Owner Participant as expressly set forth in the Trust
Agreement, (b) in respect of the representations, warranties and agreements of
Wells Fargo expressly made as such herein or in any other Operative Agreement to
which it is a party, and (c) for the consequences of its own gross negligence,
willful misconduct, and, in receiving, handling or remitting of funds only, its
willful misconduct or simple negligence as a trustee.

SECTION 15.    MISCELLANEOUS

      15.1     AMENDMENTS

      No provision of this Agreement may be amended, supplemented, waived,
modified, discharged, terminated or otherwise varied orally, but only by an
instrument in writing that specifically identifies the provision of this
Agreement that it purports to amend, supplement, waive, modify, discharge,
terminate or otherwise vary and is signed by the party against which the
enforcement of the amendment, supplement, waiver, modification, discharge,
termination or variance is sought. Each such amendment, supplement, waiver,
modification, discharge, termination or variance shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given. No
provision of this Agreement shall be varied or contradicted by oral
communication, course of dealing or performance or other manner not set forth in
an agreement, document or instrument in writing and signed by the party against
which enforcement of the same is sought.

      15.2     SEVERABILITY

      If any provision hereof shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect in any jurisdiction, then, to the extent permitted by Law, (a) all
other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such
jurisdiction and (b) such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not
affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction. If, however, any Law pursuant to which such provisions are held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable may be waived, such Law is hereby waived by
the parties hereto to the full extent permitted, to the end that this Agreement

<PAGE>

shall be deemed to be a valid and binding agreement in all respects, enforceable
in accordance with its terms.

      15.3     SURVIVAL

      The indemnities set forth herein shall survive the delivery or return of
the Aircraft, the Transfer of any interest of Owner Participant in this

interest by any Note Holder of its Equipment Note and the expiration or other
termination of this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement.

enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction likewise is
admissible in evidence.

      No failure on the part of any party hereto to exercise, and no delay by
any party hereto in exercising, any of its respective rights, powers, remedies
or privileges under this Agreement or provided at Law, in equity or otherwise
shall impair, prejudice or constitute a waiver of any such right, power, remedy
or privilege or be construed as a waiver of any breach hereof or default
hereunder or as an acquiescence therein nor shall any single or partial exercise
of any such right, power, remedy or privilege preclude any other or further
exercise thereof by it or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or
privilege by it. No notice to or demand on any party hereto in any case shall,
unless otherwise required under this Agreement, entitle such party to any other
or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a
